team chooses not to sign Seneca Wallace It very well be a good sign when a team was expected to sign a quarterback, but instead they’ll hold off for now.
Free agent quarterback Vince Young worked out for the Oakland Raiders on Thursday and impressed the team.
Young had a good pro-day workout in Texas last month that put his name back on the map, however, he may have put his name in the running for the starting quarterback position for the Raiders.
According to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com, Young’s workout impressed the Raiders brass and may have even cost fellow quarterback Seneca Wallace a job. Wesseling writes:
‘Young will have to prove that he's made strides in accuracy and picking up NFL verbiage, but he does have the rise of the read-option offense in his favor as he attempts his comeback.
The Raiders opted to take a pass on signing Seneca Wallace as a backup quarterback, perhaps due to their interest in Young.’
NFL reporter Ian Rapoport tweeted:
“Interested to hear that Vince Young was among the QBs that worked out for #Raiders yesterday. So did Troy Smith. Heard Vince looked good.”

Very Nice. I really like VY as a Raider. I'm not convinced Matt Flynn is starter material, the guy relly lacks an Nfl arm, but is accurate. I do not think he can do better than Carson Palmer or Jason Campbell did. VY however, we known he can work his magic there and transform this team in a winning one. Let's pray for Vince to have this chance in the training camp. I do not think he will have a better shot than this one.

sounds like the raiders is a no-go. man, will vince ver get a break? if he had just contained himself in/after that redskins game, his career would look so differently now. very frustrating. i am not sure if we are going to see him get signed until someone gets injured in the regular season. which is waaaaaay too long to wait for me. frustrated.

I was really hoping that my Raiders signed VY. The coaching staff was impressed with his workout, so I don't know what went wrong.

Flynn and the fact that he was general manger choice both were in Green Bay let see how that works for them.
